Ratings in key for the Top 25 original cable telecasts (plus a few other lower-rated but noteworthy programs):
Lifetime’s WHITNEY movie dominated Saturday cable at 1.67, and actually the night was stronger for the network than the chart currently indicates, because a pair of post-movie documentary and music specials occupied the #2-3 slots at 1.41/1.06. After that, it was all ESPN’s COLLEGE BASKETBALL coverage, with 5 games in the Top 10 ranging from 0.63 to 0.43. The run of NCAA basketball was interrupted by Showtime’s BOXING at 0.43/0.36/0.31/0.29/0.26 across its various segments. THE TRANSPORTER (TNT) remained at 0.17. Discovery’s MYTHBUSTERS held at 0.39. TLC’s SEX SENT ME TO THE ER was at 0.34/0.16, but the 2d episode didn’t air until midnight, the two hours sandwiching 0.16 for ALL ABOUT SEX TALK. Earlier in the evening, 2 hours of UNTOLD STORIES OF THE ER were both at 0.27
